NEW YORK - The fairy-tale weddings that many couples have yearned for are starting to come back down to earth - leveled by everyday problems like house payments and rising gas and food bills. The wedding industry has long been considered one of most recession-proof. Most brides, grooms and their parents see the "big day" as a once-in-a-lifetime event not to be skimped on. But unlike Cinderella and Prince Charming, who didn't have to worry about a mortgage on the castle, more couples are finding it hard to swallow the average price tag of items like wedding cakes (about $500), bridal gowns (around $1,300) and flowers (near $2,000).
By the time we began planning a wedding, we - like many American couples - already shared a home and had packed it with the stuff of most wedding registries: sheets, towels, china - even a stainless- steel rice cooker. So when friends asked where we planned to register for our wedding gifts, we blanked. As a middle-aged pair, we have everything for married life - everything, that is, except the cash for a fabulous honeymoon. A friend who knows we rarely take exotic vacations suggested that we register for one. Given the cost of a honeymoon in 2008 - $3,805, according to The Wedding Report, a wedding-industry research firm in Phoenix - the concept makes sense. The firm projects that wedding guests in 2008 will pay an average of $96 apiece for a gift - a price that, if multiplied, could s...

If you think an at-home wedding would be less expensive than one at a rented site, think again. Event planners hired to oversee such occasions and make sure they run smoothly nearly always raise a cautionary note to families and brides-to-be. They warn - ever so diplomatically - that such a choice, while a sentimental favorite, seldom is cost-effective unless the wedding is extremely small, with a limited number of guests.

We're finding that people who are choosing to have a green wedding see it as a sign of their values," says Eric Fenster of Back To Earth Organic Catering in Berkeley, which does about 15 percent of its business in Marin.

Chassity McHaan will have fewer flowers than she wanted for her August wedding. The reception will be in the church instead of outdoors, and her honeymoon will be short - just three days, she said. But for her moment in the spotlight, McHaan, 18, of Pontotoc, Miss., chose the most flattering wedding dress she could find at a Memphis shop recently - an airy, embroidered ball gown that floated like a cloud around her petite frame. Price was a secondary consideration.
...In 2008, the average price paid for a wedding gown in the Memphis metro...
